Bandit raid leaves 71 dead in Kenya
A raid by hundreds of Ethiopian bandits on a remote village in northern Kenya, and reprisals by tribesmen and Kenyan security forces, left at least 71 people dead, including more than two dozen children, police said.

Armed with guns and spears, the bandits attacked villagers in Turbi, a remote area of Kenya about 560km northeast of the capital, Nairobi, on Tuesday killing 45 civilians and stealing thousands of farm animals, police spokesman Jaspher Ombati said Wednesday.

The Roman Catholic Information Service said at least 52 villagers were killed.
